Getting rid of UK English--MS Word 2003 Speller
My book chapter files were copyedited in England and now own my MS WORD 2003
speller insists on using English (UK) when spell checking these files. I have set the MS Word 2003 tools/language default as English (US), and also Windows XP regional/language setting in control panel is set for English (US), but when I work on these files and spell check them, the speller STILL insists on using English (UK) and stopping for all US words that are spelled differently in British English. How do I permanently, forever, get rid of English (UK) in MS Word and Windows XP? I have no use for it.... Thanks.

Ctrl+A (Select All) and use Tools | Language | Set Language to change the
language setting to English (U.S.). Note that Ctrl+A selects the document body only; you may need to change the language for headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, etc., separately. -- Suzanne S.

Unfortunately, now in these new files they will not let me add endnotes.
Every attempt to insert notes crashes Word entirely?? Not sure what is going on. JF "removing all headers and footers" wrote: Great! It now works fine.

Surely not language-related. Perhaps the document is corrupt? Have you tried

Getting rid of UK English--MS Word 2003 Speller
Hi, I am not sure what you mean by open and repair a file? Interestingly, the original files (before I did the Control A procedure that solved the speller and autocorrect problems) will let me put endnotes and footnotes into them, no problem with that. It is only new control A corrected file that crashes when I try to put even one note in? JF "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Surely not language-related. Perhaps the document is corrupt?

Getting rid of UK English--MS Word 2003 Speller
thanks, I tried that open and repair, and it too did not help. When I try to insert a footnote into the Control-A file that I worked over like Suzanne suggested, I still get a MS Visual Basic error message (runtime error 424, object.....) or it just crashes ---- and thus it will not let me insert a note. The original file before her solution to the language problem, however, does let me insert notes anywhere.....
